- a junior macOS/iOS developer
- a marketing person who can write copy/make videos etc
- You can’t redeem an app offer code on the mac, just iOS. So we want to offer our mac users a special back to school promo through a link, but we can’t. We have to add a promo in our app and a special URL for that!
- You can’t do Apple App store ads for the Mac app store (Although as a user, that’s probably a plus! Still from my limited App store optimization research, the default search results aren’t great!)
At the end of the next month, I’ll be out of work. Yeah, Pompom is ceasing operations. The app will continue on in the app store, but there won’t be a company with full time employees working on it. So if you know anyone looking for
for a remote or in Krakow job, please let me know.
I bet the font on their kit is exceptional. 🔗 Montserrat: Caribbean island’s football team rising amid recovery from disaster - BBC Sport
Current status: moment of popping head above water between shivering and leg pains.
I need to take one of our remaining covid tests but I feel terrible.
Have fun for me!
How I currently feel after trying to make a “simple” solution that “shouldn’t take too long.”
Just arrived in goleneia (the airport closest to Szczecin) for this year’s international Sketchnote Camp.
Real rollercoaster of a landing!
My first post iPhone event working for a company making an Apple app and I get it now. We now know how much time we have left to finalise our iOS 16 release. Sure we can, and will, continue to role out features later but if we want to get featured on release day, we have to make a splash.
On a different note, I’d love to study how Apple handles the logistics of an iPhone release. Getting devices in stock around the world with up to date software.
Made myself a little reminder of this classic quote from @patrickrhone
“Saying No Is Actually Saying Yes To Other Things”
The compatibility of USB C needs a giant “terms and conditions apply” sticker. It’s so tricky to find cables and know they will work with another device.
This week I learned how to make fake latte art because I came up with a terrible Pun about my company’s name. So for your pleasure, here’s the Pompom spiced latte (I actually have some pumpkin spiced syrup and we were going to make this for real as the founder can do latte art. But he’s looking after his kids at home for the next few weeks).
Welcome to autumn and the return of one of my favourite words “Autumnal.”
It just feels like a warm blanket and cup of hot chocolate.
Looking at the rumoured iPhone 14 colour line up. I always have this feeling that I want to get something more unusual…but I know I’ll play it safe with black in the end.
But I think I could persuade myself to choose green.
P.s. I’d love an orange option.
This morning my daughter announced that her room is now the Teddy Bear’s Restaurant (I resisted checking if it was a restaurant run for Teddy’s or where one can eat Teddy’s).
My teacher instinct kicked in and now I’ve started planning a project based learning syllabus where we going to make a menu, design a logo, cook and test the recipes, plan how we can market the restaurant etc.
One early decision, it serves Italian food and Unicorn cake.
Also I need to buy more sugar this weekend.
I was today years old when I learned that Parmesan has no lactose in it. A member of the family is very happy with this news.
I opened my wife’s Mac to update some software and no apps opened.
It was so refreshing compared to mine where five apps need to open and stop you from doing anything.
Maybe I could turn some off?
Back in Poland after a great time in the UK.
I wanted to share some photos but I left my Ricoh GR there (and I didn’t download any while I was there).
Whoops
Frustrating mac app marketing stuff.
It’s fairly obvious that the mac is an after thought.
Welcome to the low-cal calzone zone.
Do you find it easier to avoid distractions, or focus on one thing?
I recently came across the idea that avoiding mistakes can be easier than pursuing great results. In contrast I’ve long known that sometimes a pull factor (a desire) is better to focus on than a push factor (something to avoid).
I wonder how this applies to focus. Is it more effective to block out distractions, or focus on something important. Probably both are needed but sometimes one is more influential than another.
We just dropped a big update at pompom including adding iMessage for business to offer support.
I haven’t seen any other companies offering this but I hope it will be an easy way to give quick support.
Crazy belief but I think people who commit crimes should be prosecuted for those crimes. And law professionals should be able to investigate those crimes regardless of who may or may not have committed them, and they shouldn’t be pressured into investigating people due to their political status. I thought this was a pretty normal belief but apparently the idea of a non-political judiciary is not to be taken for granted.
